[ Good evening, Masks and Menaces. Tonight, you will be treated (or possibly, weirded out or perplexed) by a video feed of a ~mysterious~ hooded woman, sitting at some dimly lit place with her elbow resting on a table and her chin resting on her hand. She's not looking at the camera directly -- she rarely ever does, because she's obviously too cool for that, but she does have the slightest hint of a smile across her lips. ]

So, I don't normally do this kind of thing, but I figured at this point, anything's fair game.

--and no, I'm not here to read more smutty literature out loud. A girl's gotta have some secrets.

[ said resident secret enigma lady of mystery, Kasumi Goto. ]

Anyway, to all the newbies: welcome. I don't know what you all have been told about this place so far by other people, but all I can really contribute is that it's a wild ride, being here. You may inquire below for more details if you so wish.

To the rest of us: happy new year. And I do mean that sincerely, despite the terrible start we've been off to, so far. I want to say that maybe we'll get a lull again, like we have the other times that something truly offensive has happened -- but word on the street is that the Russians are yelling angrily about something, so I kind of doubt that's going to be the case.

For now, let's just all try to relax, alright? I'm pretty sure stress is bad for your complexion.

... Also, fun fact, but I-- [ she sighs. So maybe she didn't really mean to make this post to address the general masses, because who does that? But because she's so Conflicted about the Worst (or Best?) Anniversary Ever that she needs. Something. Drinks. People to feel all bitter and/or nostalgic with. Mostly she doesn't want to be alone. ]

You know what, I've been here a year, as of today. Officially. So...

I think I speak for most of us -- whether it's because all the pandemonium [ get it? ] has got you needing a little pick-me-up, or because you've also just realized you've been stuck here for a year -- when I say: I need a drink. Or soul food. Or both. I guess that's what I really meant by relax. Let's see if we can actually enjoy something around here, for once. Maybe have a do-over of New Year's?

What're the best bars and food joints around the Porter cities? I've got my favorites picked out, mostly in Heropa and Nonah, but I'm always open to new experiences.

[ come party with space thief, y/n? ]

I, uh --

Well, you know how we like to drink.
kanadian: (Should I be happy or sad)

[personal profile] kanadian 2016-01-15 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
Well --

Alright...

[ A beat. ] Pull our arms, why don't you.

And for the record steak goes great with merlots. Come over with an extra bottle, and I'll even make a sauce.
kanadian: (You can hold her hand)

[personal profile] kanadian 2016-01-17 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I think you'll find that I've been practicing.

With all these recipes I have to go off of, and...

It's nice, not eating out so much.
kanadian: (I just don't have a clue)

[personal profile] kanadian 2016-01-17 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh --

I guess. It's a little --


It's your fault, though.
kanadian: (Techie)

[personal profile] kanadian 2016-01-18 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
You're the one who got me the books.
kanadian: (That's weird)

[personal profile] kanadian 2016-01-18 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
Okay...

Well, Santa should know, that his gifts were well appreciated. Maybe you should come enjoy the food intended for him, just in case he asks if I liked it next year.
kanadian: (Didn't I?)

[personal profile] kanadian 2016-01-19 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Ugh -- you know she'll just take it. Have you seen that dog? She thinks tablescraps are her right to eat.

And we both know who to blame for that.
kanadian: (Let's see if I can pull this off)

[personal profile] kanadian 2016-01-19 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ A bark of a half-laugh. ]

Speak for yourself.
kanadian: (Turn on the scanners)

[personal profile] kanadian 2016-01-19 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
Well --

Most of the time.

She doesn't get half the bed, so...

I'm still pretty lucky.
kanadian: (This is my military portrait)

[personal profile] kanadian 2016-01-20 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Oh don't think she hasn't tried...

But normally she doesn't get what she wants.

[ Normally. Just enjoy that mental image of two big dumb marines in a bed that's probably a touch too small for them sandwiching a fat corgi. ]
